ZK60 casting magnesium alloy was subjected to friction stir processing (FSP). Defect-free joints could be obtained under a range of processing speeds (50-200 mm/min) at a constant rotation rate of 800 r/min, and microstructures and mechanical properties of the experimental materials were investigated. The results show that the coarse grains in base material are changed into fine equiaxed grains in stir zone after FSP. With the increas of processing speed, the mean grain size decreases firstly and then increases. The microhardness and tensile strength of stir zone increase compared with the base material, and the elongation increases significantly due to its fine and uniform microstructure of the specimen. The optimum properties are obtained in the specimen prepared at the processing speed of 100 mm/min, the average grain size of the specimen is 6.9 μm, and the microhardness, tensile strength and elongation are 70.1HV, 276 MPa and 31.6% respectively.
